I am trying but with no progress except for being able to read about 6 pages at a time…I miss reading big books so much…

My hubby reads a lot of books at the same time. He reads a chapter at a time and rotates them. He says it helps.

I totally get that. I used to read several books a week and now for a lot of years I can’t read more than a page at a time. And even then I’m frustrated that I have to read it over and over.

Try reading something by John Grisham. He is an engrossing writer.

I used to read a book in like 2 days before meds. Now that I’m off again, I find reading on my Kindle easier than paperback. The pages font can be adjusted, you can turn off page breaks, etc. So I may actually read 20 pages with page break off, and not know it till I hit the bookmark.

Hey, I’m not married to you @anon78876561
It’s a good idea though, personally for me, I cant stay focused on one book at a time. I like rotating just for the sake of having different plots in my mind.

Start with something you’ve seen a movie of. I started with Harry Potter and soon moved to other things.
It’s hard. It really is but set aside some time everyday to read. My simple goal is if I read I read at least a chapter. Some books make that harder but I stick in and get it done.
Feel your pain. I used to read 3-5 books a week before diagnosis. Afterwards I read 4 books every 5 years. Keep at it is the best thing to do.

I only managed 38 pages but now i’m taking the book back to the library 
i was reading around 2 pages at a time but my eyes get sore i feel like i have failed my mission to read this book and if i cant read this then what hope have i got for my book group that i am hoping to start.
WHAT? No way! 
I dunno. He seems to keep all the plots in his head separately some how. I can’t do that. The bulb in my head short circuits too often.

LS! I just finished “the State of the American Mind” Mark Bauerlein and others. I read 240 pages in a day. It was interesting. One of the things I learned is that Americans who have gone to College do not write very well.
I wouldn’t say that all Americans who went to college don’t write well. There are many who don’t, but the majority have the capacity to write very well. I think because spoken American English is both lazy and casual, and people writing to each other write informally, it just appears they lack the capacity to do it well.
